It could even be called ‘Drinks & Art New York’, remembering ‘Drinks & Art’ we celebrated in Berlin in December.

Only, this time, we might have called it, “Drinks, Food, Fashion and Art” – because the entire evening was an incredible combination of these.

Kurt Gutenbrunner and Albrecht Behmel organized this lovely collector’s dinner after Albrecht’s Artexpo New York exhibition in Manhattan.

Famous chef Kurt Gutenbrunner owns an impressive selection of top-rated New York city restaurants and is a true culinary icon, internationally renown.

Kurt’s ideals have secured him a unique spot in New York’s culinary world where he is able to harmonize his two great loves, food and art, and for this he is forever grateful.

Located in the heart of Tribeca on Duane Street between Church and West Broadway and adorned with vintage film and art posters, remnants from the former inhabitant Le Zinc, Blaue Gans features traditional Austrian-German cooking fare that pays homage to the traditional wholesome “Wirtshaus”.

Also named ‘a convivial Austro-German Wirtshaus, where Tribeca families…rub elbows with expat artists, assorted epicures, and denizens from all walks of life’, Blaue Gans is one of Kurt Gutenbrunners art-inspired New York restaurants. We will soon bring you more information about Kurt and his fabulous gourmet gastronomy!
